Just a small thing that irks me. Whenever I play Exerelin or some mod that has a lot of factions + Blackrock, any ship for sale has a chance to spawn with ANY ship name. Blackrock ship names lose their uniqueness when they keep showing up on other faction's ships. On top of that, Blackrock ships will spawn with greek, roman ETC ship names in the faction's own stations. Could it be possible to change which string list these are pulled from? Or could it be possible to name a ship AFTER it gets bought? All unbought ships will lack names and instead just show the hull name, and then, once you buy the ship, a dialog pops up "Name your new ship: ISS -" or "Name your new ship: HSS -" based on what faction you buy from/belong to. With a button to pull a name from the appropriate ship name list if you dont care to name it. Any ship you BOARD will keep the old name, which is entirely appropriate.
Like i said mostly a pet peeve suggestion but it does break immersion somewhat. I guess all station-bought ships are used ones with a history of their own, which reflects the fact they are already named, but once Industry rolls around, one should produce nameless ships.
